I got a Droid the day it release (Nov 6th) and haven't looked back since! (although I did totally destroy that one by accident, and am on my 2nd Droid... I have pics! Haha!) It's an amazing phone. Running 2.1, non-modded/rooted. Only "mod" I have is a Zagg InvisiShield for just the screen, which is a very nice screen protector. Just makes the screen more "tacky" feeling, and not as smooth as the glass.
Games: UniWar (think Advance Wars) Bonsai Blast Raging Thunder Totemo Lite (not sure if I want to buy this one.. sometimes brutally hard) Parallel Kingdoms (google map based MMO game.. cool and crappy at the same time) Light Racer demo Air Control WordUp! I keep dreaming that someone could get a big game running on it... like EQ or WoW or something... well most likely would have to be through a RDP type service like OnLive! is boasting to do. Because I know the specs can't handle it. The HD space is there, but everything else isn't. I love pocket devices and the portability, but am still waiting for them to able to play PC games well [You must be logged in to view images.

Droid is ho-hum. Sweet phone, but the N1 and the Incredible are lots better. Droid only if you NEED a keyboard (I am in that boat ATM). I still have my G1 I got at launch, and am kind of seeing how this year pans out for hardware upgrades. Qualcom is coming out w/ a 1.5ghz dual-core cellphone chip, and it's supposed to land mid to late this year.
The incredible is fucking awesome to say the least. Played w/ one last week, and it's a beast. Even faster than my friend's N1 (which is weird because they have almost the same hardware...) which he has on AT&T. Both are still faster than a 3gs. The incredible comes w/ tethering out of the box, straight from Verizon. They have an included app lol. <3 Android. Only people who don't love it are people who haven't tried it. Know a few iphone converts. | ||

http://sites.google.com/site/gamegri...y-game-gripper The gamegripper actually works REALLY well, and runs only $14. Otherwise alot of common bluetooth game controllers also work fine. The 1ghz overclock on games (Rather than the stock 550mhz) seriously boosts the consistency of the FPS in a game like quake or doom, and makes SNES or other emulated games run like their original counterparts in the few cases they actually HAD issues to begin with (Super Mario RPG, and a few super scope 6 games). In quake at 1ghz ill average 30-50fps or so, with little to no bogging except in the worst firefights where it might drop to 20ish. I havent figured out if it actually works for lan or net play actually, just haven't checked. | |||

I have on authority (one of my good friends is working on the project), that they're working on releasing a mobile version of EQ2.
He pitched developing a huge MMORPG to his company, and they didn't want to give him a go without something to show for it. He finished about a week early from his given schedule, and they were really excited about what he had put together. Next thing he knows, he got a call from Sony asking him to be on the EQ2 mobile development. He told me to keep it on the D/L (which I'm obviously somewhat breaking now), but I figure this is a small enough community, can't hurt! =D | ||

I really, really fucking hate not having a keyboard. I've been a blackberry guy for a long time and pretty much got the point where I send a text message at 70wmp and not even look at my phone aside from selecting the contact. Once my most recent blackberry went through water for the 8th time and finally died, I got a refurb 16gig iphone 3g for 99$; not bad I thought. Texting on it drives me insane, at this point, if It wouldn't cost me money, id probably sacrifice the browser just so I could fucking type like a bandit again and go back to a blackberry. The games don't impress me, and not being able to run pandora while I browse/text/anything is straight fucking retarded.
Really the only con I had about the droid was its bulkyness, otherwise everything on it was spectacular, too bad im AT&T fucked for another year and a half. | ||

Shadow dude, you have me really interested in rooting my Moto Droid so I can overclock it for Quake... just afraid to brick it like everyone else! (especially since work paid for it!) Which I'm sure is pretty unfounded and most people are just fine rooting it. I'm paranoid like Sinlea [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I assume you running by now stock 2.1 correct? Then here ya go. Related downloads are all marked with the proper bar codes so just scan and go for file downloads on the droid, etc etc. http://www.gadgetsdna.com/how-to-roo...1-update/1814/ http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/14...ng-sprecovery/ http://forum.droidmod.org/index.php/topic,1004.0.html If you go ahead, i seriously cannon recommend Bugless Beast 1.0. Ive been with it for months now since earlier versions and this absolutely blows not only any custom rom out of the water but its engineered far better than google's own software! Pete the rom creator is super active, answers questions fast and updates are usually released in a matter of days or lately within mere hours. Im looking forward to a leak of Android 2.2 soon, as with 2.1 the rooted rom people will get theirs months ahead of time. http://alldroid.org/threads/17341-Bu...ast-V1.0-ESE81 Best of all, enjoy, have fun. | |||

I have a HTC Eris and I really wish they'd update the OS.. FU Verizon. I want to flash it or whatever the eff you call that, but I really don't want to brick it... if someone with this knowledge would like to baby me and walk me through this, this would be appreciated!
Also, does anyone know if 2.0 or 2.1 or whatever over 1.5 on the Eris will really make it better by much?

ERIS, going from stock to 2.1 rooted, with SenseUI [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Read it 2 or three times, then jump in. Its not nearly as hard as it looks at first glance. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647707 Yes, it is worth it. The phone overall is faster, more responsive. It fixes the annoying hangs on some phones where using the phone and returning to the home screen could randomly lock it up, among other issues. Also, allows full market use and properly enables full multi-touch, google voice nav and all the other goodies from 2.1 Your welcome. (Huh, is it unethical to offer to tutor someone on this for plat? I wouldn't anyways, information is free I believe and I like to help, but tips are cool!) | |||
